To the Hon Lewis Cass Secy of War &c
Joseph Eaton of Ashley in the County of Middlesex and Commonwealth of Massachusetts represents That he served as a Musician in the War for the space of two years & nine months, he went into service in April 1781 enlisted at Boston under Capt. Austin & proceeded to New Bedford where he was ordered into Capt. Thomas Harrison's Company in Col. Michaux's Artillery Regiment in which he served during his whole term as a drummer - he was discharged at New Bedford on January 20 1784 as he believes, and which will more certainly appear by his discharge now on file on the Pension Office -
He was admitted to the benefit of the Act of March 18 th 1818 on the 30 th of June in that year his Certificate is No 1603. and dropped from the Pension roll of the Mass- achusetts Agency for the alleged cause of having property
After his return from the army he went to Read- ing in Mass the place of his residence, from whence he removed to Ashley about 42 or 43 years since where he has continued to reside, he is now sixty six years old being 15 the day after he enlisted -
He relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension or annuity whatever except the present, and declares that his name is not, to his knowledge, on the Pension roll of the Agency of any State.
And he now prays that he may be admitted to the benefit of the Act of June 18 th 1832. I also attest in Mass July 28. 1832

Be it remembered that on this twenty seventh day of April in the year of our Lord One Thousand eight hundred and eighteen before me Samuel Dana Chief justice of the Circuit Court of Common Pleas for the middle Circuit comprehending the Counties of Essex and Middlesex in the Commonwealth also said, Comes Joseph Daton of Ashley in said County of Middlesex and doth declare that he served in the war of the Revolution against the Common Enemy two years and Eight months as a musician — In the month of April in the year of our Lord One Thousand Seven hundred and eighty one he enlisted at Reading in Massachusetts upon Continental establishment for three years he went to Concord in Massachusetts, was there mustered and ordered to Boston where he was received by Col. Hildang of the Army, and conducted to Liberty Wharf and was annexed to Col. Datsnor's Company, in Col. Michael Patrick's Regiment in the Continental Army he remained until the twelfth second day of December 1783 when he was by Major Genl. Knox honorably discharged —
How now little time goes a pace, I have a small estate here in Ohio, with an Asthma, which deprives of the ability to labor for subsistence and in reason of his reduced circumstances in life, he stands in need of assistance from his country for support. — Joseph Eaton
